Press Release
Coperion and Coperion K-Tron at Fakuma 2015
Maximum material handling and changeover flexibility
Stuttgart, September 2015 – On their booth A6-6406 in hall 6 at this year’s Fakuma exhibition
Coperion and Coperion K-Tron present themselves as innovative system providers for plastics
processing. A highlight on the booth floor is the T35/S60 Quick Change Feeder which is on
display together with a 2400 Series Pellet Receiver and the ActiFlow™ Smart Bulk Solids
Activator. Quick Change Feeders have been specially designed for applications requiring the
maximum possible material handling and changeover flexibility. Single screw feeders handle
free flowing powders, granules, pellets and other free flowing materials. Twin screw feeders are
ideal for floodable powders and more difficult, sticky or hard-to-flow materials.
The 2400 Series Powder and Pellet Receivers provide a high capacity sequencing system
designed to handle powder, pellet, regrind and granular materials. Each receiver has a stainless
check valve to allow multiple receivers to draw material from a common conveying line.
Applications include railcar unloading, silo to daybin transfer, in-plant transfer or feeder refill.
The ActiFlow™ Smart Bulk Solids Activator offers an innovative method to reliably prevent
bridging of cohesive bulk materials in stainless steel hoppers without internal hopper agitation.
ActiFlow™ is a non-product contact device, consisting of a patent-pending vibratory drive and
intelligent control unit, designed specifically to work with Coperion K-Tron’s line of gravimetric
loss-in-weight feeders. Working together with the gravimetric feeder controller, ActiFlow™
continuously activates the material inside the hopper with an optimized frequency and
amplitude, without exerting any mechanical force on the bulk material.

Bag Dump Station for Dust-Controlled Environment
Coperion K-Tron’s Bag Dump Station with integrated dust hood is specifically designed to
maintain a clean, dust-controlled process environment; the unit is equipped with a pulsecleaned cartridge filter. The central exhaust ventilation is started automatically when the hatch is
opened and generates a slight vacuum. The primary filter is only cleaned when the hatch is
closed and the exhaust fan is on. The Bag Dump Station can handle powder, granular, and
pelletized materials.
The unit on display at Fakuma features a 150 liter feed bin, a bag rest for 25 kg [55 lb] standard
bags, a stainless steel mesh to prevent ingress of pieces of bags or oversize pieces as well as a
KS60 single screw feeder for metered discharge of the bulk material. Several different filter
media are available to accommodate different applications. In addition, a user-friendly access
door with gas-piston cylinders provides easy access and hands-free loading of material. The
unit is constructed of stainless steel and designed for easy cleaning. The modular design makes
it easy to tailor the configuration to the application and add options as needed, such as aeration
pads or a fully fluidized cone to eliminate flow problems. Versions suitable for ATEX zones 3D
or 2D are also available.
